Adaptec AIC-7770 SCSI BIOS and Linux

Adaptec AIC-7770 SCSI BIOS and Linux

Post by Matthew Neil Fish » Tue, 18 Jan 1994 23:24:42



Hello -

        I have a computer which uses the Adaptec AIC-7770 SCSI BIOS.
Does Linux support this?  I tried installing Linux Slackware and SLS
distributions and they both looked for the Adaptec 15XX SCSI Controller Card.
This computer has the SCSI controller built into the motherboard.

I would appreciate any help on this.

Thank you very much!

   No, there is no driver for that chip yet.  I'll be working on
one shortly.  I'm hoping to get it working with aic7770 chips
on the motherboard, but my first goal is to get the Adaptec 274x
and 284x models working.

   I will try to support motherboards with the chip, but I need to
know how the chip is connected to the motherboard ( I assume its
an EISA board).  People with motherbaords that have the chip on them
should email me whatever info they have on the board and how the
aic7770 is wired on if they would like to test a driver when it
is ready.

1. Adaptec AIC-7770 SCSI chip

I've just been bequeathed an Intel X-series computer which apparently
has a SCSI controler integrated into its motherboard.  The SCSI
controller is build around the Adaptec AIC-7770 SCSI chip, so I
had high hopes of being able to use it under Linux.

However, when I try to boot up Linux (Slackware) it doesn't find any
SCSI drives.  

Anybody able to help?  Thanks.
